#BlackLivesMatterBeloit challenges the Beloit campus to confront implicit bias--specifically anti-Blackness. Whether one consciously or explicitly harbors racial prejudice or not, ALL of us are subject to our own hidden, implicit biases. These result from subtle cognitive processes, often operating at a level below conscious awareness and without intentional control.So what’s the good news? YOU CAN CHANGE THIS!
